## Description

An MCP server that enables secure remote Linux administration through SSH connections with comprehensive safety mechanisms. Built using Python with paramiko for SSH connectivity, it loads host configurations from YAML files containing credentials and connection details, then provides tools for connecting to hosts, executing commands with optional sudo privileges, and managing sessions. The implementation features destructive command detection using regex patterns that identify potentially harmful operations like file deletion, system shutdown, package removal, and permission changes, requiring explicit confirmation before execution to prevent accidental damage.
